Hey Substack, I’m new here— and I’m releasing a book this fall titled The Mother’s War. It’s a research-based memoir that traces my political and religious conversion during COVID. I’m a mom, a wife, a veteran, and a former Congressional staffer with a degree in public health. Those are my formal credentials—but these days, the internet …

i miss slow things. slow mornings. slow friendships. slow art. slow romance. everything feels like it needs a deadline when the best parts of being alive takes more time to bloom than we care to admit.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

I cannot express how much I admire and respect this man. I supported him for president back in 2019 and will support him for ANY elected office in the future. He’s the real deal 💙💙

After a couple of days or reading and listening to the various reactions to this interview, I now have a larger question:

How does one become an Historian? What qualifies an individual as an Historian? There is no significant historical event that does not have much written about it from a variety of viewpoints threaded through with biases, we are human after all (until we all become cyborgs thanks to AI).

My question is about how societies and institutions confer the "Historian" title to a perso…

It’s not bestowed upon a person. If I talk or write about history I’m a casual historian. If I get paid for it I’m a historian.

Thank you. So this causes me to ask another question, which is: How do you define a pseudo-historian if this person does profit off of their writing about history?
